I’ve been a part of Sirius Casting Agency for the past two years and have really enjoyed it. I had done acting as a teenager and wanted to get back into it, so when I saw that they were opening their books, I decided to apply.
I was offered an audition and loved the flexibility and freedom, in that I could decide how I was going to do it. I was able to play to my own strengths and showcase that in the best way, as opposed to being given set material and having to work within the confines of it.
I heard back from the audition the day after and found that I was successful. Since then, I've loved being part of Sirius Casting Agency. I have a really great relationship with my agent, who has been incredibly supportive of me and a great encouragement in my creative endeavours.
I was even lucky enough to get cast in a McDonald's advert. It was such a valuable and surreal experience and a great stepping stone in my career as an actor.
Overall, being part of Sirius Casting Agency has been such a great experience for me and I'm excited as to what the future brings.

Being with Sirius Casting has been so fun! I’ve received many opportunities I wouldn’t have thought possible for myself since being here. Some of the auditions I have done have been so fun and enjoyable too! Sarah-Lee and the rest of the team are so wonderful. They are friendly and encouraging. I noticed that from the zoom audition when I hadn’t prepared anything to show them and they told me not to worry about it and to just send a recorded one to them. Furthermore, they are always putting me forward for castings and it feels great to know they are on my side and are working hard to help me achieve my dreams!

I've been with the agency for a couple of years now and I'm really grateful to Sarah for taking a chance on me and supporting me across this time. I have been up for several exciting jobs including big musicals and did a contract with P&O cruises as the villain Fleshcreep in Jack & the Beanstalk last winter. The communication and the fact that Sarah genuinely cares and wants me to do well is why I would recommend them.

My experience was great. My first impressions I was a little nervous, but the agents and people you meet on the zoom call, make you feel comfortable, calm and collected. It was a very friendly experience. When I did my zoom audition they were patient, open and encouraging. If anyone wants to audition for this agency, I would highly encourage it, you will have nothing to be nervous for.
The agents are very supportive and helpful, when I had my first self tape audition for a feature film. My agent offered me all the help I would need and more, they sent me tutorial videos, the do’s and do not's, deadlines, notes and enthusiastic support.
When I got the news about meeting the director and meeting daisy I was excited. I was meeting these real people and when I got the news about getting the part, I was on my knees. My family and myself was ecstatic.
I got to work with Martin Campbell and Daisy Ridley. I was like living my dream and it was an amazing experience I will never, ever forget.
It’s opened a door to an even brighter and more exciting future for myself.
If an autistic person like myself can make it this far and beyond, anyone can.
This is all thanks to the Sirius Casting Agency. I can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done for me.
